About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life, meet new friends

ABOUT ME

I live and work in Oslo, but I am always planning a trip somewhere. Consider myself to be positive, honest and social.

My apartment is in one of the best party streets in Oslo. In the summer time I enjoy sailing, mountain hiking, mountain climbing and going to the many nice parks in Oslo. All year I love going to concerts.

Personally I am fairly conservative value wise along with my siblings; something I believe is due to our parents being hippies. I know Norway and Norwegian culture very well, but have always had a very international mindset, and a hunger for learning about foreign cultures.
